Many people think that Hollywood is situated in California because of all of the glorious sunshine associated with the area, but the real reason behind the placement of Hollywood is a little more sly than most would think.
Hollywood (Hollywoodland) was initially built in 1923 by Harry Chandler for a cost of $21,000. It was built to advertise the area “Hollywoodland”. Built to last for only a year and a half, it lasted for more than eighty years and is still going strong.
In 1949, the alphabets “L, A, N & D” were removed. The board has read “HOLLYWOOD” ever since 1949.
